How to Make a Recycled Ladybug Bug Jar

Once every 3-4 weeks I connect with other craft bloggers to blog about our own take on the same topic. Not only is it fun for me, but it's helpful for you - if you're looking for a bunch of crafts revolving around the topic (usually a holiday), you're in the right place!

This time, we're doing recycled crafts for Earth Day (or Earth Month). So not only will I teach you how to give an old jar new life as an adorable bug home, but some of my favorite crafting friends have lots of great projects connected at the bottom of this post - be sure to check them out! (if you are reading this via e-mail or a blog reader, you will need to click through to my post to see the other projects).

That actually looks like something I could do since I'm so craft challenged! My daughter loves to craft and she'd have a great time painting the lid with me. She an collect the bugs with her dad though!

It's not really a suitable permanent home for bugs so we practice "catch and release" bug capture. The bugs aren't in it long enough to use up all the air. If you are going to keep bugs in the jar for an extended period of time, holes are a good idea
